Thinking Faster at Work

During meetings or group projects, I always have a few problems. 1.) I am stuck listening to things I already know. 99% of the communication is things I am very well aware of. I hear it slowly explained and I tend to space out. I know what's coming and where its going, and this becomes very boring. 2.) When a point is mentioned one time- I got it!

I can see the problems, know the solutions and can almost instantly visualize an effective plan for anything. Explaining that requires many steps, which generate questions, which lead to…


During meetings or group projects, I always have a few problems.

1.) I am stuck listening to things I already know. 99% of the communication is things I am very well aware of. I hear it slowly explained and I tend to space out. I know what's coming and where its going, and this becomes very boring.

2.) When a point is mentioned one time- I got it! Then I hear it reminded over the same meeting, explained in details, then reminders sent by email and then again over days, reminded, reminded and reminded again. When I explain my plan, I am reminded again, even though my plan takes it into account and I knew it a long time ago.

3.) I can see the problems, know the solutions and can almost instantly visualize an effective plan for anything. Explaining that requires many steps, which generate questions, which lead to having to very slowly and carefully justify my position, which goes in a long circle, which comes back to the plan I already created. It seems incredibly inefficient.

Has anyone experienced any of these?
